    I can’t say enough great things about working with Kim!!! She has a true talent in creating the most magical photos. I was captivated by her uses of different lights, and textures to create a whole mood or scene, almost like you could step into the photos… I knew I had to work with her! Her attention to detail and the way she carefully plans her sessions to then making it all come to life is such a fun experience to be apart of.

    Our marketing had gone stale after years of using iPhone-shot images we took as needed. While searching for photographers that specialized in marketing and branding for businesses I stumbled across Still & Wild on social media. I was immediately drawn to Kim’s style and ability to communicate the feeling of a brand through her photography.

    From the start, Kim was focused, organized, and very knowledgeable. She helped us identify and plan for what our marketing needed to express. As a mental health professional, a simple headshot is not enough. We need people to feel the energy of our therapists; Kim accomplished this in our photoshoot. We now have so many options for communicating the story of our services and brand. From our website, to social media, to marketing flyers we now have a variety of images for each. This was a wonderful and beneficial experience.”
